If any of you has now problem with finishing "Slave Required" quests - in 0.12 there has been a new "balance" change not mentioned in the changelog where you need to train them first with "Obedience Donate training". It's an absolute PITA to finish those quests with dungeon raiding now.
you mean the second training and yeah it's kind of dumb even though training cooldowns were reduced to one day instead of 3.

if your slave doesn't have that you can't "sell" them to quests.
there is also alot of console errors when you multi partner sex now because of the friendship/hate system the console is popping like crazy.

The game is kinda schizophrenic at this point. A rant ahead:

They drop so many slaves on you each dungeon run but you cannot make use out of most of them because of how housing restrictions works, you can't turn them in for quests without keeping them for a few days at the least, so the only option is to sell them immediately.

The next thing is economy. Housing restrictions force you to micromanage resource extraction initially. But if you can secure some expensive resource and mine it, you can sell it and then buy food and basic resources from market which makes all food production jobs kinda useless (well, fishing is good for early money and its free but not much more).

Basic resource extraction is also trivialized by the dungeons and Lvl 3 Earth spell that with one decent mage character allows you to clear all the resources from like two dungeons each day. Stone, wood, meat, bones and to less extent iron are abundant in specific dungeon types, so you really do not need to use slaves to acquire them.

Silk and leather are less common and available on the markets in limited quantities, but you need silk really only for room upgrades and I think you can get enough by buying from market regularly and maybe cleaning some spider dungeons. Leather is basically only needed for crafting and few upgrades.

The last thing is that the moment you train some decent productive slaves, the resource game becomes entirely trivialized because trained slaves with decent corresponding factor and skill produce so much of the resource.

As the result interacting with the economy part of the game is not interesting. It is either fiddly and slow (if you do not run dungeons to circumvent resource production and income source) or there is no need to interact with it.

And yeah, later chapters unlock new resources and through them some new stuff to make, BUT YOU DO NOT NEED any of that. You can make a mage MC with Hidden Powers trait, Apprentice - Caster - Necromancer (Dominator and Soul Devourer in perspective after you grind down another 1500 Mage Guild rep) and Master skill for +35% Magical Attack and clear up almost any encounter with one cast of the Void (Dark magic 6) or Abyss Gaze (from Servants Guild) and have free meatshields from Necromancer for any case where one shot clear didn't happen. You can clear Fire Abysses solo while still being in first chapter in Tier 1 gear and get all the advanced resources that way. The only limitation is how slow mana regen is. It is actually so slow normally that I recommend taking Succubus on MC for that sweet in-combat damage buff and ability to turn others Lust into Mana out of combat.

And you are getting so much XP from running dungeons each day with one character that you will soon be out of useful classes to pick up on your MC. And it is before first chapter even ends.

TL:DR version. The game really needs three things in my opinion:

1. Revamp on XP progression because there is way too much XP from trivial fights. I feel the XP rewards are made with the idea of going into dungeons as a full party but full party is an insane overkill. You need a few skill check monkeys at the back bench at most to ensure speedy clearings. And you can get them by feeding them XP scrolls that you are getting from every single dungeon.

2. Something needs to be done about economics. There is no point of interacting with pretty much any part of it. You just need dungeon clearing team, Earth 3 on a mage or two and a decent income to circumvent most of it.

3. Pron section of the game is poorly integrated. Sex system doesn't really account for much and pretty much the same all the time. Proper events are rare, mostly non-repeatable and basically turn the game into a very short visual novel with a bunch of time sinks between the scenes. Honestly, original Strive for Power at least had something to gain out of fucking with your slaves. Here you can only gain experience but with how much XP game throws at you, it doesn't feel meaningful at all.

This game is such an enigma - the dev seems to listen to the community but he just keeps making the game less playable by the day for some reasons. A year ago I was like "Hey the gameplay loop is near perfect the devs just need to add more H scenes and content for it to be good!" and then I revisit the game now only to see the dev adding little to no content while adding frictions and time wasting mechanics into the gameplay loop ain't no way lmao.

I have a question that may be stupid, but... do the sex scenes in the game have sound? Or would it be some specific ones?

Nah, more gameplay is good, the more peeps complain about it the more it is revealed they're just there for quick pron and won't stay for long.

More gameplay is good, yeah. If it is good gameplay. And integration of the porn part into gameplay would also be nice. Because currently sex is either an XP pinata or VN scenes.

Couldn't find anything related in the thread, so decided I'd just ask. How do I make the "Nudity" filter work? Portrait Pack Editor has three images of the character - portrait, body, and naked body (under the portrait). However inside the game, no matter what I do, character shows the same regular sprite for a character. Is the feature just not working, or I have done something wrong?

But don't worry! It can be easily fixed with one line change:

In file

gui_modules/Mansion/Scripts/MansionJournalModule.gd

Comment out or remove this line
statreqs.append({code = 'has_status', status = 'tr_obed_donate', check = true})

It should now work as in the previous updates.
Enjoy your slave raids!
This is such a laughable shit change. The slave requests needed a major overhaul but this ain't it. The problem with the slave requests are that the requests themselves are basically broken and could often be completed by buying a basic Human slave IN THE SAME CITY and immediately turning them over for a quick profit. They also had no correlation between difficulty and rewards, with cases like 'any 1 slave' sometimes paying more than 'get me two (rare race) with XYZ'. Did they rebalance the requests to make sense and give better rewards equal to the time and effort required? Nope. Okay guess I'll just ignore slave requests or use the mod fix above then. Well done.

I do partially agree with cd13 that the recent updates are just a mess. They reworked combat and classes, which was needed as the game was way too easy before...and instead made it even easier with elements being almost completely irrelevant now and the player skills being so busted you can easily one-shot any boss. Now they're focusing on the slave training, and just making it more of PITA I don't really want to engage with anymore. Like bro, just finish the story and call it day before you make it any worse.

You need to be nice most of the time. If you have her trained as a sex toy, you NEED to be nice in the other interactions, and probably not destroy her spirit in training.

What happens when they reach there travel point?
well, obviously they arrive at the travel point, but the work in the mansion is still busy (for example the wood work) the bug repeats itself (I just discovered it) when also during their training you send them to rest while they are at work

Huh, this IS one hell of a bug. It took a while of looking at the pictures to realize what you were showing us. All your characters were directed away from the mansion so that not even the "mansion" option for the characters list in the Mansion Tab would show at the bottom; however, a Collect Rough Wood task remains active in the left panel of the Mansion Tab, and on the job screen there are two "phantom workers" assigned to the Collect Rough Wood task plus one additional "phantom worker" assigned to the Far Cloth task plus one additional "phantom worker" assigned to the Collect Iron task.

I am assuming these "phantom workers" do not actually provide labor since they are placeholders without an attached character that has statistics? This is where I would open my save file in a text editor and figure out (by a LOT of trial and error) where the data error occurred and clear that anomaly. My suggestion is a lot of work and not clever since it does nothing to prevent it from reoccurring.

Anybody have a better idea?
